The best champion warrior skills in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

Key points

• Prioritize flame damage and shield attacks as a champion in Dragon Age: The Veilguard for optimal combat efficiency.

• Abilities like Fiery Resolve and Ring of Fire improve Flame abilities, while Shield Bearer increases the damage of the shield attack.

• Unlock champion-specific abilities like Uninterrupted Finish and Reinforce to maximize damage and combat effectiveness.

One of the three warrior specializations in Dragon Age: The Veil Guard he is the Champion. If you focus on fire elemental damage and shield attacks in combat, it's the specialization you should aim for when you start unlocking abilities.

While resetting your skills and recovering your skill points is free and unlimited, there are some skills that every Warrior Champion should aim to unlock as soon as possible because they are more useful in combat than other options. Knowing which ones are best in both the early and late sections of the tree will ensure you don't waste skill points.

Fiery resolve

One of the best perks in Dragon Age: The Veilguard are flaming weapons. Not only does it deal burn damage, but attacks deal more damage while it is active.

Fiery Resolve gives you Flaming Weapons when you perform a Perfect Defense, so this is great if you're someone who parries a lot of attacks with yellow warning indicators. Additionally, the skill causes the perk to last 50% longer, whether you gain it from this skill or another way. If you have other skills that award flaming weapons, it will make you extremely powerful.

The best defense

While the Best Defense skill is limited to those of you who perform specific attack types, the bonus it offers is powerful. Shield attacks aren't always the best option in combat because they are slower than standard attacks and require you to be much closer to enemies, but this ability adds 50% of your Defense number as bonus attack damage with the shield.

Shield attacks deal increased damage against enemy armor.

Therefore, it is also a skill that will improve drastically as you progress and find more powerful equipment. You will also benefit from focusing on gear that has a high defense stat, rather than those that offer high stagger or other bonuses.

6

Ring of Fire

Many of the Champion Warrior's abilities focus on Fire damage and increase its impact. Ring of Fire does not directly modify your attacks, but instead extends the range of burn damage, applying burn to enemies around the initial target.

Therefore, when you notice that enemies are attacking in groups, it is best to use your fire spreading skills or anything that activates the flaming weapons perk, as you will be able to burn them all at the same time.

5

Uninterrupted ending

Again, if you're someone who uses the shield attack in combat more often than standard light and heavy weapon attacks, then the Champion specialization is for you. Unbroken Ending is a feature you can unlock that improves the effectiveness of your shield attack.

At the end of any attack chain (four shield attacks or three light attacks followed by a shield attack), a powerful shield attack will be unleashed. Since you will often spam attacks during combat, you will perform these attack chains regularly. Now, with Unbroken Finale active, they will be more powerful than ever.

4

Traumatize

While the Champion section of the Warrior skill tree isn't as Stagger-focused as the others, there are still some Stagger skills worth unlocking as soon as possible, one of them being the Traumatize skill.

There are many skills aimed at Stagger and Takedown in the Reaper section of the Warrior skill tree.

Increases Takedown damage by 15%, so if you stun enemies regularly and use the Takedown cinematic attack, you'll take out enemies faster in the process. Some enemies will still be killed by Takedowns in one hit, but stronger enemies and bosses will need to be hit multiple times.

3

Reinforcement

Reinforcement is a great skill to unlock, but it's especially useful if you can chain it with other skills that give you advantages. The ability increases the damage dealt by your lead by ten percent when unlocked.

While this is fine on its own, since Flaming Weapons is something you'll have regularly as a Champion Warrior, you can unlock a Ring by completing the arena combat side quest for the Shadow Dragons. This gives you an advantage for each enemy you perform a Takedown on. Therefore, combining it with this skill is a lethal combination.

2

Fire

Once again, fire damage is an important part of the Warrior Champion skill tree. Wildfire aids you in your attempts to kill everything with fire by increasing fire damage by 10%.

This also applies to all ways of dealing fire damage. Whether you're facing enemies with flaming weapons, using fire skills, or detonating explosive barrels, Wildfire will make them more effective.

1

Shield bearer

The final ability is a late ability of the Champion Warrior that also affects shield attacks. Again, you have to be someone who actually uses shield attacks for it to be useful, but Shield Bearer increases the damage of those attacks by ten percent.

If you unlock it, you should integrate shield attacks into your fighting style more than you otherwise would. If you didn't know, shield attacks are more useful against armor than any other attack in the game. Therefore, attacks are more useful against strong enemies and bosses.
